Idle by name, idle by nature

8 Minutes Idle (2012)

Directed by Mark Simon Hewis this film based on the novel of the same name stars Tom Hughes, Ophelia Lovibond and Montserrat Lomard. An idle call centre worker from Bristol is kicked out of his mothers house and spends ten days living at work.

This is a fairly pedestrian, low budget British film that fits into the lazy youth genre with a hint of coming of age about it. Occasionally there are funny moments but in general this film does little to impress or disappoint. The cast is decent but too many characters are not fleshed out, about the best thing about this film is that it does capture the local flavour pretty well.


3/5
